City Blog Post: Sierra 2 & Curtis Park Meeting
Update as of Jan. 18, 2023
Due to recent storms that have impacted the region and parks across Sacramento, the temporary popup dog park fencing is down. The park grounds will need adequate time to dry before the fence can be re-erected. Until the fencing is restored, YPCE asks for cooperation and voluntary compliance of the City’s park rules to ensure safety for all users.
The City of Sacramento is committed to providing access to the City's extensive parks and recreation system for all to enjoy. The Department of Youth, Parks & Community Enrichment maintains over 4,265 acres of regional, community-wide, and neighborhood facilities.
The Sierra 2 Park is a neighborhood park that features a soccer field, playground and other amenities in Curtis Park. More than 20 years ago, the City agreed to allow a dog training group from the Sierra Curtis neighborhood to use the park for dog training activities during specific hours. However, the park in its current state does not meet the requirements of a dog park for off-leash use and continued use presents health and safety issues that YPCE must address.
